"Always drawn to opposites, [Ang] Lee
balances the film's grasp of
the fleeting with reminders of nature's patterns and eternal rhythms.
There's an austere, almost abstract beauty to
the horizontal tree line; the verticality of tall, thin pines; and
the flock of sheep heading downhill like a water droplet. And
the campsite
the two men retreat to is an uncommon thing in film: a believable paradise."
